Samweli w’Akabiri 14:1-33
14 Yoabu mughala wa Zeruya mowa ngoko omwami abirikwa Absalomu y’olukando.
2 Neryo Yoabu mwatuma omundu ati ayende omukali w’amenge oyo abya ikere e Tekoa. Yoabu mwabwira omukali oyo ati: “Ukendibya ng’uli omo kiriro. Wambale esyongyimba sy’ekiriro kandi isiwahakaba amaghuta. Ubye ng’omukali oyukalira omundu oyo wabirihola hamabilaba ebiro binenene.
3 Neryo uyasungane n’omwami n’erimubwira uti...” Neryo Yoabu mwabwira omukali oyo ebyo akendibugha.
4 Omukali we Tekoa mwayasungana n’omwami, amakukama n’erihira obusu bwiwe b’oko kitaka. Mwabwira omwami ati: “Mwami waghe, niwatikaye!”
5 Omwami mwamusubirya ati: “Nikuwatikaye okuki?” Naye mwamusubirya ati: “Niri mukwa-kali, omulume waghe abirihola.
6 Kandi, ingye mughombe waghu nabya n’abana babiri. Kiro kighuma, mubalwa ibane omoli, sihabya omundu oyo wangalekyabo, neryo omughuma mwamangura oghundi, amamwita.
7 Neryo lino ekihanda kyosi kyabirinikenderya. Ko kine munibwira kiti, ‘Leta oyo wita mughala wabo, tukendimwita, kundi mwakita mughala wabo. Tukendimwita, nomo ekyo kikendileka iwatabya n’oyukendisyalya omwandu!’ Bamabimwita ibamabilimya erikala* righuma risa eryo nikiwiteko, n’omwira waghe isyendisyabya n’oyukendisyahulwa omo rina riwe* oko kihugho.”
8 Neryo omwami mwabwira omukali oyo ati: “Suba ewaghu, ngendisoha omwatsi oyo.”
9 Omukali oyo we Tekoa mwasubirya omwami ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, ekosa y’omughala waghe ibye okw’ingye n’oko kihanda kya baba waghe. Siyibye oko mwami n’oko kitumbi kiwe ky’obwami.”
10 Neryo omwami mwabugha ati: “Hamabibya omundu oyukatasyakukenderaya iwamuleta oho niri, neryo isyendisyasyakukenderya.”
11 Aliwe omukali oyo mwabugha ati: “Kisi mwami waghe, usabe* Yehova oMungu waghu, kusudi oyukatuhulaya omusasi isyahutalaya n’eriita mughala waghe.” Neryo omwami mwamubwira ati: “Oko kwenene-kwenene ngoko Yehova aliho, sihali n’oluywiri n’olughuma lw’omughala waghu olukenditoghera ahisi.”
12 Neryo omukali mwabugha ati: “Kisi leka omughombe waghu atasyabwira omwami waghe kandi omukama waghe y’omwatsi mulebe.” Neryo omwami mwamubwira ati: “Bugha!”
13 Omukali oyo mwabugha ati: “Wahikamoki ukatakolera abandu b’oMungu bo utya? Omughulu iwe mwami ukabugha utya, ukabya iwamayitswera ighuwene-wene, kundi wabiritibita oko mughala waghu, kandi siwewatamusubulya.”
14 Itwe bosi tukendisyahola neryo itwabywa ng’amaghetse awakutawa oko kitaka ogho omundu ateangatola. OMungu syangabughaho engebe,* aliwe akasondaya ebyangaleka iniasubya omundu oyo wabiritibitwako.
15 Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, ngabisyakubwira omwatsi oyo kundi abandu mubakanisaghisaya, neryo ingye mughombe waghu mungayibwira niti, ‘Ngendiyakanirya omwami, kwa muhwa akendinihulikirira ingye mughombe wiwe.
16 Omwami angananihulikirira, neryo inianisabula ingye mukobe wiwe omo byala by’omulume oyukasonda eritubughaho ingye n’omughala waghe oyo nikiwiteko n’eritusaghula omwandu ogho Mungu abirituha.’
17 Kandi mungayibwira niti, ‘Ebinywa ebyo mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe akendimbwira bikendinitulerya, kundi mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe ali ng’omumalaika w’oMungu w’ekwenene oyukaminya ati eki ni kibuya na kirya ni kibi. Yehova oMungu waghu abye haghuma naghu.”
18 Omwami mwasubirya omukali oyo ati: “Kisi isiwanibisa omwatsi wosi-wosi oko byosi ebyo ngendikubulya.” Omukali mwasubirya ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, namakuhulikirira.”
19 Neryo omwami mwamubulya ati: “Yoabu y’ulyakutuma ati wase unibwire ebyosi ebi?” Omukali mwamusubirya ati: “Oko kwenene-kwenene ngoko uliho mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe bine ngoko wamabibugha, kundi omughombe waghu ye Yoabu y’ulyanituma n’erimbwira ebyosi ebyo namabikubwira.
20 Omughombe waghu Yoabu mwakakola atya utoke erilangira emyatsi omo yindi nzira. Aliwe mwami waghe, uli n’amenge ng’omumalaika w’oMungu w’ekwenene kandi wasi ebyosi ebinemulaba omo kihugho.”
21 Enyuma sy’aho, omwami mwabwira Yoabu ati: “Usingene, ngendikola ebyo wamanisaba erikola. Ghenda uyende Absalomu.”
22 Neryo Yoabu mwakukama, amahira obusu bwiwe b’oko kitaka n’eripipa omwami. Yoabu mwabugha ati: “Munabwire ingye mughombe waghu namalangira ngoko wabirinitsemera, iwe mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, kundi mukowa ebyo ingye mughombe waghu niryakubwira.”
23 Neryo Yoabu mwahangana, amaya e Geshuri, neryo amasubya Absalomu ye Yerusalema.
24 Aliwe omwami mwabugha ati: “Absalomu asube ewiwe, aliwe isyahika embere syaghe.” Neryo Absalomu mwasuba ewiwe. Mwatalola oko mwami.
25 Omo Israeli yosi simwabya omulume mubuya nga Absalomu, abandu babya bakamupipa kutsibu busana n’obubuya bwiwe. Eritsuka oko bisando, erihika oko kaghuli-ghuli k’omutwe, syabyako kahinira.
26 Oko mwiso w’obuli mwaka, iniakasisawa kundi esyonzwiri siwe isilitohire kutsibu. Esyonzwiri siwe isikaluamo esyoshekeli* 200 erikwamana n’ekipimo ky’omwami.*
27 Absalomu mwabuta abana basatu b’obulume, n’omwana mughuma w’obukali oyo wabya iniakahulawa mo Tamari. Abya mukali mubuya kutsibu.
28 Absalomu mwabugha emyaka ibiri e Yerusalema isyalyatalola oko mwami.
29 Kiro kighuma, mwabirikira Yoabu y’ewiwe. Abya anzire Yoabu iniayamubughira n’omwami. Aliwe Yoabu mwatasa. Mwatasyatuma omundu engendo y’akabiri ati ayamubwire ati ase, aliwe tu mwatasa.
30 Absalomu mwasala abwira abaghombe biwe ati: “Yoabu anawite eririma ryo hakuhi n’eryaghe. Anaheriremo ekisusu, mughende muyatimayeryo.” Neryo abaghombe ba Absalomu mubayatimya eririma rya Yoabu.
31 Neryo Yoabu mwaghenda ewa Absalomu, amayamubwira ati: “Abaghombe baghu balyatimaya eririma ryaghe ryo busanaki?”
32 Absalomu mwasubirya Yoabu ati: “Mungakutumako omundu niti wase, nilue nanzire erikutuma ew’omwami uyamubulaye uti: ‘Niryalua e Geshuru yo busanaki? Kyanguwanire okw’ingye erisighalayo. Neryo lino nilighire niase nikuloleko. Namabya inabirikola ekosa, iwalw’iwaniita.”’”
33 Neryo Yoabu mwayasungana n’omwami, amamubwira ebyo Absalomu alyamulaghira. Enyuma sy’aho, omwami mwabirikira Absalomu. Absalomu mwasa, amakukama n’erihira obusu bwiwe b’oko kitaka embere sy’omwami. Neryo omwami mwaha Absalomu y’ebizu.
